IPL 2026: KSCA Voices Disappointment After Bengaluru Is Stripped Of Rights To Host Final Despite full Preparedness

The Karnataka State Cricket Association: The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) is disappointed that Bengaluru will not host the IPL 2026 playoffs and final, even though it was originally named as the venue for the final match. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Wednesday announced that the final will take place in Ahmedabad, while Dharamshala and New Chandigarh will host the other playoff games. In an official statement on Wednesday, KSCA said it had formally communicated its willingness to host the important matches at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Spokesperson Vinay Mruthyunjaya noted that the association worked hard at the highest levels to secure the hosting rights. KSCA President and legendary Indian cricketer Venkatesh Prasad personally contacted the BCCI about this matter and formally expressed KSCAs readiness, eagerness, and strong interest in hosting the IPL Playoffs at the iconic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, the statement said. KSCA highlighted its successful track record this season by pointing out the smooth execution of matches in Bengaluru. The IPL matches held in Bengaluru this season received positive feedback for the way they were managed, including crowd control, operational efficiency, and overall fan experience. This confirms KSCAs ability to host important events of this scale, it stated. The association explained that its communications with the BCCI were strictly operational, aimed at ensuring transparency about match arrangements. Most of these arrangements and protocols have been consistently followed since the IPL began in 2008. They were also implemented uniformly this season, including during the earlier playoff matches held in Bengaluru, the statement said. The association explained that its communications with the BCCI were strictly operational, aimed at ensuring transparency about match arrangements. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Even though it is disappointed, KSCA recognises the BCCI's authority in making the final decision. Despite our readiness and willingness to host the Playoffs, we understand that the BCCI chose to assign these matches to other venues.

IPL 2026: 'Few Demands Of KSCA Were Considered Unacceptable,' Say Sources

Karnataka State Cricket Association: Bengaluru's M. Chinnaswamy Stadium lost the hosting rights of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 final, scheduled on May 31, after a series of contentious demands and organisational concerns from local authorities and stakeholders. According to sources, IPL officials remained in constant touch with the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), but negotiations broke down due to what were deemed too high and unacceptable demands, including requests for passes for members and politicians. The situation was further complicated by reports of ticket black marketing, which raised serious integrity and logistical concerns. As a result, the decision was taken to shift the marquee final to Ahmedabad, ensuring smoother operations and tighter control over arrangements for one of the tournaments biggest fixtures. IPL officials were in constant touch with the KSCA officials. However, their demands including passes for members and politicians were considered too high and unacceptable. There were also reports of ticket black marketing. These were the reasons why the IPL final venue was shifted from Bengaluru to Ahmedabad, sources told IANS.

However, the BCCI, in its statement, stated that due to requirements from local authorities that fell 'beyond the scope of BCCI's established guidelines and protocols', it would not be possible to hold the final in Bengaluru. The season will conclude with the grand final on May 31 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad the worlds largest cricket stadium setting the stage for a spectacular finale. Owing to certain operational and logistical considerations, the IPL 2026 Playoffs will be conducted across three venues this season as a special case, the BCCI said in a release.
